Gardening Know How Questions & Answers - https://questions.gardeningknowhow.comHello. I have had a green lime tree that I have finally managed to help flower and grow some limes! I put some great citrus fertilizer and added a teaspoon of epsom salt in half a gallon water and it has finally bloomed. But since i got the tree, the leaves have always been discolored and unhealthy looking. Further inspection of the leaves, they are dry, some have curled up and some have holes in them. Is it an infestation? A fungus? Am I missing something in the soil? Or is it normal for my area? Although the leaves look like that, there are still little limes growing. Please advise, I am a new gardener!

That does look bacterial. I would treat with fungicides, and make sure to allow the soil to dry, thoroughly, down to about 4 to 6 inches between waterings.
